Strata Gallery announces an Emerging Member solo exhibition Shimmering Gloom by New Mexico-based Brianna Tadeo.
Join us for a free unique workshop on March 28, 2026, from 2:00-4:00 pm for an immersive experience exploring the captivating world of silver gelatin paper and the impermanence of photographic art by Brianna Tadeo. Reservation required on Eventbrite.
Brianna Tadeo (they/them) is a visual artist whose work explores impermanence and transformation through experimental photography. Utilizing analog and digital techniques, Tadeo embraces fragility, inviting images to crack, fade, and disintegrate in pursuit of unexpected beauty. Their practice is rooted in curiosity and the quiet magic of light and material change.
Shimmering Gloom invites viewers into a world where photography is not just about capturing a moment, but about transformation and the shimmer that appears amid change. Tadeo offers a poetic meditation on light, loss, and the beauty found in impermanence.
Tadeo holds a BFA from California College of the Arts and an MFA from the University of New Mexico. Their work has been exhibited nationally and recognized by SF Camerawork’s FORECAST 2025 and Lenscratch as one of the “Top 25 Students to Watch.”

SHIMMER is dazzling, alluring, brilliance. According to multi-species ethnographer Deborah Bird Rose (1946-2018), SHIMMER is the iridescence of aliveness, the world as interactive, vibrant, and vibrating. It is ripples of sunlight glimmering on water, the irresistible sweetness that draws bee to flower, the pulse in a work of art that resonates in the viewer. SHIMMER is the visceral awareness of interconnection between species, between human and biosphere, between observer and observed. For our Spring 2026 exhibition, SciArt Santa Fe features 20 New Mexico artists whose work responds to this concept of SHIMMER.
Project Venue and Setting
At St. John’s College, science and art are complementary ways of knowing, and all students engage with the great works of mathematics, natural science, philosophy, poetry, music, and literature through close reading and sustained conversation. With a curriculum that moves from Euclid, Darwin and Einstein to the study and illustration of plants and the movement of celestial beings, St. John’s fosters an education rooted in inquiry, imagination, and the enduring dialogue between scientific discovery and artistic expression.
SciArt Santa Fe, founded in 2019, fosters artists across disciplines that reflect the cultural diversity of New Mexico, supports research that addresses issues that disproportionately affect people of under-represented races, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, national origins, citizenship statuses and ages including climate change, species extinction and migration, that often do not fit within a traditional gallery framework.
